AB416,1,3
1An Act to amend 941.29 (1g) (a), 941.291 (1) (b) and 973.123 (1); and
to create
2941.29 (3m) of the statutes;
relating to: storage of a firearm in a house in which
3a resident is prohibited from possessing a firearm and providing a penalty.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a person to store any firearm he or she possesses in a securely
locked box or container or other secure locked location or with a trigger lock engaged
if the person resides with a person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under
state law. A person who violates this requirement is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor
for a first offense and a Class I felony for a second or subsequent offense.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
